3.9.5 PoE

This page provides a status overview for all LLDP PoE neighbors. The displayed table contains a row for each port on which an LLDP PoE neighbor is detected. The columns hold the following information:

Web Interface

To show LLDP PoE neighbors:

1.Click LLDP, then click PoE to show discovered PoE devices.

2.Click Refresh to go to the manual update Web screen.

3.Click Auto-refresh to auto-update the screen.

NOTE: If your network without any PoE device supports LLDP-MED, then the table will show “blank.”

Parameter Description

•Local Port: The port for this switch on which the LLDP frame was received.

•Power Type: The type represents whether the device is Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) or a Powered Device (PD). If the type is unknown, it is represented as “Reserved.”

•Power Source: The power source used by PSE or a PD.

If the device is PSE, it can either run on its primary power source or its backup power source. If it is unknown whether or not the PSE device is using its primary power source or its backup power source, the screen displays “Unknown.” If the device is a PD, it can either run on its local power supply or it can use the PSE as a power source. It can also use both its local power sup- ply and the PSE. If it is unknown what power supply the PD is using, it is indicated as “Unknown.”

•Power Priority: Power priority represents the priority of the PD or the power priority associated with PSE type device's port

that is sourcing the power. There are three levels of power priority: Critical, High, and Low. If the power priority is unknown, it is indicated as “Unknown.”

•Maximum Power: This indicates the maximum power in watts required by a PD from PSE, or the minimum power PSE is capa- ble of sourcing over a maximum-length cable based on its current configuration. The maximum allowed value is 102.3 W. If the device indicates value higher than 102.3 W, it is represented as “Reserved.”

•Auto-refresh: Check the auto-refresh box to set the unit to refresh the information automatically.

•Icons, upper right or screen (Refresh, <<, >>): Click them to refresh the LLDP neighbors information manually.

LPB2848A, LPB2826A, LPB2810A, PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco specifications

The Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch series, including the models LPB2810A, LPB2826A, and LPB2848A, presents a robust solution for businesses looking to enhance their network efficiency and reliability. Designed to support the growing demand for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, these switches provide the perfect backbone for modern network infrastructures.

One of the most significant features of this series is its PoE+ capability, which allows it to deliver power and data over a single Ethernet cable. This functionality simplifies cabling and installation, making it easier to deploy PoE devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The LPB2810A offers 8 PoE+ ports, the LPB2826A ups the ante with 24 ports, and the LPB2848A provides a whopping 48 ports, each capable of delivering up to 30 watts of power per port.

The managed switch system ensures that users can customize and optimize their network performance. With advanced features such as VLAN support, Quality of Service (QoS), and link aggregation, organizations can effectively manage traffic, prioritize critical applications, and potentially enhance overall network security. Furthermore, these switches support Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities, which allows for greater flexibility when implementing routing policies.

Another critical aspect of the LPB series is its built-in security features. The switches come equipped with advanced security protocols, including IEEE 802.1X port-based access control, which enables network administrators to authenticate devices before granting access to the network. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and ensures data integrity across the connected devices.

The Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switches are designed with reliability and ease of use in mind. Their fanless design promotes silent operation, making them ideal for deployment in both office environments and data centers. Additionally, the switches offer a user-friendly web-based interface and CLI options for straightforward management and configuration, catering to both novice and seasoned network administrators.

In conclusion, the Black Box PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch series, featuring models LPB2810A, LPB2826A, and LPB2848A, stands out with its power-efficient design, extensive port options, and advanced security measures. These switches are an excellent choice for organizations that require a dependable and scalable networking solution to support their growing Ethernet and PoE device needs.
